As the year draws to a close, I’ve wrapped up a whirlwind season with a snowy trip down to the Salem Holiday Market in Salem, MA – an excellent opportunity to visit a coffee shop I favor and pop in on my favorite installation around the corner at the Peabody Essex Museum. It seems that each year gets busier than the last, and 2016 was no exception – closing out at top speed a series of show dates that included the Weston Craft Show, the Vermont Hand Crafters Craft Vermont show, and the Burklyn Arts Council’s Holiday Market.

Next up? I’m planning an early start to 2017 – Vermont Flower Show, here I come!
